Let’s be real—this one gets raw. In this episode, we dive headfirst into the messy, emotional, and often frustrating world of support as a content creator.

We’re unpacking it all:

What is Support? (In the world of content creation)

🤝The process of finding meaningful support through networking to build a community of viewers and fellow creators for long term support

💥 Understanding the act of giving more than you're getting?

🔥 And yes, there’s a full-on crash-out moment where the host vents—honestly and unapologetically—about the lack of support from live streamers and creators within the space.

But it’s not all doom and gloom. We also talk about how to shift your energy, find support outside the content bubble (yes, it exists!), and build a system that doesn’t rely solely on your peers showing up.

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Am I really getting the support I should be?”—this one’s for you.

In this episode, we dive deep into the world of free-to-play games — the ones that promise zero upfront cost but may come with hidden strings attached. We explore the real-world financial impact these games can have, including microtransactions that quietly drain your wallet over time.

We also tackle the murky issue of digital ownership. When you spend money in these games, do you really own anything? Spoiler: not really.

Plus, we talk about how these games are often designed to be hard to quit, using psychological hooks to keep you playing (and paying). And we can’t ignore the privacy concerns — what kind of data are these games collecting, and who’s getting access to it?

Whether you're a gamer or just curious about the economics behind your kid’s favorite mobile app, this episode breaks down the true cost of “free” games.

In this episode, we dive deep into world of female content creators and their unique ability to captivate and influence their audiences. From streamers, influencers and gamers, women across all platforms have built massive followings, often drawing attention from a predominantly male audience. But with that attention comes both admiration and an uncomfortable reality—“simp culture.”

We'll explore allure that female creators hold, examining how their charm, charisma, and sometimes provocative content can spark deep emotional attachment in male fans. We’ll also unpack the idea of "simps"—fans who may go beyond admiration, offering extreme support or obsession without clear boundaries. What drives this dynamic, and what impact does it have on both creators and their fans?

We’ll also highlight essential tips for recognizing and avoiding mistreatment of supports dealing with female content creators, while in turn, respectfully environment where creators are valued for their talents and hard work, rather than objectified or reduced to their looks? Join us for an insightful conversation about navigating these tricky dynamics and promoting respect, kindness, and healthy boundaries in the digital age.

Tw*tch, often by the host as "The Purple Monster," is a powerhouse in the world of live streaming and content creation. With its massive user base and a platform that promises easy access to monetization, it seems like the ultimate destination for streamers and creators. But lurking beneath the surface is a set of practices that keeps creators locked in. Whether it's through reliance on Tw*tch's exclusive monetization options, overwhelming algorithms that push creators into a one-size-fits-all approach, or the unspoken pressure to maintain constant engagement, many are stuck on the platform, often feeling like they can't break free.

In this episode, we dive deep into the practices that keep creators tethered to Twitch, Twitch's partner programs, the limitations of its monetization features, and the toxic cycle that keeps creators chasing ever-increasing metrics.

From diversifying your content distribution to using alternative revenue streams, we’ll show you how to become a "rogue agent" and escape the Purple Monster’s control.
